Works by Andrea Lewicki
Jana LaChance has observed that she is “easily consumed looking at the ocean, tide, the stretch of natural fragments” and that “our physical selves, to me at least, don’t unerringly fit in this natural landscape, only partially.” Her paintings explore this juxtaposition of self and sea using a combination of brilliant and subtle colors.
Weihui Lu Acrylic on Canvas Weihui’s large-scale, abstracted landscape paintings depict an apocalyptic world. She combines elements of Eastern ink painting and Abstract Expressionism to explore the sense of fracture and conflict within her bi-cultural identity. In her paintings, the land becomes a metaphor for the mind – both in crisis, overburdened and under siege. […]
Austyn Sullivan Collage Art The space between the conscious and subconscious mind is a space that can be bridged to open a wider perception of reality. With my collage work, I use images that create a space of familiarity and distort them to create a world of new mythologies. My collage rituals come from the […]
Jeffrey Heyne Digital Photography Summertime 1898: A group of 200 Ute Indians traveled from their Utah reservation to their ancestral hunting grounds of western Colorado.

John Chang Mixed Media John Chang dreams in many worlds and brings back remnants. In his new works, people come and go; yet no one is seen.

Malin Abrahamsson Mixed Media Sculpture My Spaceholders revolve around the idea, shape, and purpose of the vessel, and the notion of holding space: the practice of allowing room to reflect on whatever arises in the moment. Clay’s transformative qualities make it an equal collaborator rather than a medium I aspire to bend to my will.
Kristin Fouquet Digital Photography Artist Statement: “Weighed-In: Stills of a Boxing Gym” When a client requested a shoot in a boxing gym, I reluctantly agreed. I viewed boxing more as violence than sport. When not photographing my central subject, I captured stills. Seeing the equipment, I respected the boxers’ commitment. Although I had no desire […]

I am […]
Justin Hamm Photographs Artist Statement “For me, the act of photography is similar to the act of writing a poem. I try to get lost, be unafraid of any turn, and react emotionally first. These pictures come from my drives down backroads in Missouri, Illinois, and elsewhere. In poems and in photos, I am trying […]
